Recovery
Harder day yesterday so easy today. Although I felt pretty fresh so I probably could have done a longer ride this morning – but I don’t want to push it. Stupidly hot heatwave right now, 28 degrees at five in the morning is wild 😁
Yesterdays ride. 5×4′ Vo2. Better than the last interval-session at least. Could keep even numbers on all 5.
Did them all at around 850m above sea level – so, altitude training?! 😄
Used the ride up the mountain as a warm-up. Got passed by some dude on the way up, smoked really. Never fun. Had to really keep myself from jumping on his wheel, which would have been a really stupid thing to do considering what I had planned ahead. Maturity 🤗
Although much cooler then at sea level, I had hoped for even cooler temps. The air didn’t have that fresh mountain air feel. We really are in the midst of the summer now.
Oh, and excuse the handle bar bag 😋 I really, really hate having things in my back pockets when riding in heat. I read a news article once about a Swedish pro from her winter training camp. She had a handle bar bag while out on a long ride in one of the pictures. If she can, so can I, damn it.
From Sundays ride. Saw some Mouflon sheep. My expert eye (I have barely ever held a hunting rifle) tells me that these are young ones, thus not allowed to be shot. Yet.
(The whistling is a hunter-thing. Trust me).
Two longer rides coming up for Thursday and Friday. It’s up in Gorski Kotar on both days for some lower temps.
